Native Instruments devices, while native to Traktor, also benefit from custom .tsi files. For instance, the or Maschine Plus can be mapped to act as a 4-channel mixer, utilizing the touch strips for high-resolution faders and encoders for EQ control. You can find these files on sites like DJTechTools , Midimonsters , and TraktorMaps [3†L20-L21].

Pressing a button once turns the function ON; pressing it again turns it OFF. (Ideal for Effects or Sync).
